Why a Good Nights Sleep is So Important

While many of us complain about not getting enough sleep and not sleeping well when they do hit the sheets, we continue to put sleep on the back burner behind a long list of responsibilities and distractions. We always think sleep can wait until the next day. Our big to-do list consistently seems more important. However, sleep is more important than many of us realize. Here are 5 reasons why you should set aside those chores and projects and hit the snooze button.

1) Increased Energy Levels

Energy may be the most obvious benefit of a good night’s sleep. When you don’t sleep enough, you end up feeling lethargic all day long. Getting the recommended 8 hours of sleep a night will increase your energy levels throughout the day and help your quality of sleep in nights to come as well.

2) Weight Management

Not only does getting more sleep leave less waking hours for eating, but also sleeping will stop the overproduction of the appetite-stimulating hormone known as ghrelin. Lack of sleep also obstructs the production of the hormone leptin, which is appetite suppressing. By increasing your sleep, you will be able to maintain—and maybe even lose—weight without even trying.

3) Improved Mood

Sleep deprivation can result in irritability, depression, impatience, and other negative changes in mood. It is difficult to have a good and happy attitude throughout the day when you feel tired and groggy. Getting on a steady sleep schedule will improve your mood and your quality of life as a whole.

4) Clearer Skin

When you become sleep deprived, your body produces more of the stress-related hormone, cortisol. Cortisol can increase inflammation in your skin and cause displeasing side effects such as dark circles, wrinkles, and acne. By getting sleep every night, you will see your skin quality improve. People who get quality sleep on a regular basis have a unique glow.

5) Increase Brainpower

Not sleeping enough can cause a cognitive imbalance in the brain. Sleeping helps your brain restore itself each night and clear out all the toxins and chaos. Sleep will improve your memory as well as your creativity and focus. Sleeping will help you finish that to-do list quicker and easier, because it allows you to be more productive when you are awake.
